Each season, we, believe, should find some of this workcompleted in permanent and sclentificmanner. The plan developed in thisway will construct the ideal roadwhich is desired. In Itavalli and Missoula counties this scenic overlandway can be made the central artery ofthe commercial roads; it will not bea route for pleasure-seekers only; itwill ,be a practical road in a practicaldirection for the farlner who wantsthe best highway he can get for marketing his products. in the case ofRavalli and -Missoula, the park-topark proposition becomes an addedincentive to good-roads endeavor, asit fits In with the practical as well asthe joy-ride idea.

But from the side lines it is easy to see whatwill happen if he does not.As the turfmen have it, there was a complete reversal ofform in the house yesterday. After having the situationwell in hand, the democratic majority yielded yesterdayalmost without a struggle and last night found the senatebi-partisan combine in control of the field, with the reformmeasures secluded beyond any possible invasion's reach.If we were not familiar, here in Montana, with the powerand the methods of the bi-partisan combine which is thevisible agent of the invisible government, this situationwould be surprising.. But we have seen this power andthese methods so often in evidence that we are not surprised any more, whatever happens. So there is a largemembership in the I-told-you-so class this morning.The result of yesterday's proceedings in the house madeit certain that the record of the Thirteenth assembly willbe a do-nothing record, which is exactly what the combineexpected it to be and which is precisely what the whole campaign of the combine has led up to, for sixty days.We say this is certain. There is one thing which cansave the day for the democratic pledged majority. That isthe influence of the governor. Should Governor Stewartdecide to make an effort to induce the lawmakers to carryout their solemn pledges, there might yet be some changein the situation. Yesterday Representative Day made anearnest plea to his party associates to stand by the governor and their platform. This plea went unheeded. Itis up to the governor now and perhaps even his personalendeavor will not save the situation.From the start, the position of Governor Stewart hasbeen consistent. His message was a recommendation thatthe democratic majority carry out the pledges which hisparty had made, in common with the other two parties, forstate reform legislation which is in no way partisan or poitiical. His influence, as far as we know, has been steadilyexerted toward the carrying out of his recommendations.He showed the way to party triumph by the establishmentof a record for performance.Yesterday, Governor Stewart witnessed the abject surrender of the men upon whom he had relied to carry outthis program. Perhaps he may yet save the day, but itlooks as if the people's league would have a busy seasonafter the assembly adjourns..lnt shrine of mercy and tenderness--the homiie.But now he knows better.

Wherethere existed in. .England, after theirorganization, a small society whichcould buy a few hundred pounds'worth of goods, there exists today inthe United Kingdom co-,perative soeltehes having ai total rllllnbershipti of3.000.,00 heails of families. The activities of the societies reach and effectevery phase of production and clonsiIrmptioIn, extendiLg to the banking,insurance, cretdit and bIultling association fields.

The thirdbuys and owns nuall lots of land for,agirult'iral purposes.The usual English cl'o-operative society is opel to all cornllrs, with thesingle reservationl tiat those InILy Lieex'cludedl whose ime ership wouldprove a detrimenit to the orgarnization.The shares in these societe'l s are tl. tally fiv\'e dollars each, anid in somllle ofthem such shares mIlay be acquitrellsimply ,by dealing with the society asia noll-nlielllter, and lettintg the profitsaccumlnulate until Ithey equal thieIrice of a share. The usual rule is forthem to be bought on weekly orquarterly payments. A dividend of 5per cent annually is usually allowed to Ithe holders of shares, and any profitsover and above this are distributed tothe share holders, and the custoniers.Some distribute a part of the profitsto the employees. Some of the agricuRtural societies distribute a share ofthe profits to those who supply theraw material.In the usual co-operative society inEngland each member is entitled toone vote, whether he be the owner ofone share or a dozen. Its affairs aregenerally administered by quarterlymeetings, and a special committee,elected by the shareholders, managesthe ,business in the meantime. Thereare few salaried positions. No difficulty is encountered in securingenough capital; indeed, there has to bestrong insistence that the companiesare run for the benefit of the consumers rather than to afford returnsto investors. The law provides thatthe societies may receive deposits upto $100 from any one person, and they,,therefore, act as sorts of savingsbanks for their members.An interesting index of the costsantd profits of retailing is to be hadfrom the reports of the retail soctiles. Upon a business of 70,000,000pounds, the gross profis were 16,000,000 pounds in a recent year. Fromthis it will be seen that the wholesalevalue of the year's trade was approxirnately 54,000,000 pounds, and thateven under the best form of co-opera,tion the margin between wholesaleand retail prices was approxinately30 per cent.Periodically each society balancetits books and finds what profit it hasmade. A meeting of the members isthen held and it is asked how thesurplus, after the interest on theshares has been paid, shall be distributed. Usually there are certainreservations for the reserve fund, thecharity fund, and the educationalfund, and then the remainder is distributed among the punchasers, somuch for each $5 worth of goods purchased, shareholders getting twice asmuch as non-memibers, of whom thereare few. Each purchase carries withit a metal ,tag which is evidence ofthe amount purchased, and the dividends are based upon the value of themetal tags a man holds. The averagerebate that this brings is about 13cents on the dollar. Many of the societies have come to advocate sellingas nearly at cost as possible, so thatthe poorer mem'bers will not be solong deprived of the use of the moneytheir rebate tags represent.In some sections where competitionis not heavy, retail prices have beenkept up, the theory being that themembers will save their dividends,and thus, at the end of the year willhave more money than they wouldhave had they bought right along atlower prices. The div'idends usuallyare allowed to accumulate.While the general principle of thebig co-operative societies in Englandhas 'been that trading shall be on astrictly cash basis, some of the societies have 'begun to extend limitedcredit to their members. This tendency has caused alarm among theleaders of the co-operative movement,'so that each natornal co-operativecongress in recent years has debatedthe question of how the credit-extending societies can. 1be induced ,to comeback upon the surer ground of cashtra.dling.While the admin4stratlive work ofI the co-operative societies in Englandis entrusted to elected officials, the'technical and commercial end of thebusiness is in the hands of permanentemployees usually paid salaries andwages after the manner of privateconcerns. These employees are treated as co-operators like to be treatedthemselves. They get a half holidayeach week, and work on an average.about 54 hours a week.The two big whqlesale societies inthe United Kingdoml are the Englishand Scottish Wholesale societies. Thewholesale societies are the direct outgrowth of the opposition of privatetraders, who sought to put down cooperation by bringing pressure uponthe wholesalers to force them to refuse to sell to co-operative retailstores. Attenmpts had been made repeatedly to establish such wholesalesocieties, but they failed until theywere projected by federations of retail societies so strong that the mostpowerful opposition could not prevailagainst them. These two societies cooperate with one another. Under aworking agreement they jointly operate and own tea estates in Ceylon,manuLfacture coc;t1 at Luton, andbhlnd and pack teas l.a London. TheElnglish society owns four steamshipswhich have been completely paid for.The system of co-operative insurance in England is no less interestingthan the system of Imanufacturingand distributing the commodities usedby co-operators. The ('o-operativeInsurance society does a many-sidedbusiness. If you have property to beinsured against loss it will take therisk: if a society wants its employeesbonded it will guarantee their fidelity;and if a society wants to insure thelives of its melrnbers, the Co-operativeInsurance society is there ready towrite out the policies.It has a novel scheme of collectiveinsurance, designed to afford the benefits of industrial life insurance andyet to save the large costs of administration and house-to-house collectlon. Ilteh co-operative society paysthe pIremium for all its members, andthis premlium is two cents on every$4.86 worth of goods purchased bythe member. Without making any inquiry a-s to the age or state of healthof the memrbe.rs of a co-operative society, a blanket policy for them allis provided, and if any one of themdies his beneficiaries are paid anamount hearing a fixed ratio to theamount of his purchases during theyear closing on the day of death.These policies range from $50 to $500 Ieach. A man who purchases a hundred dollars' worth cf goods a yearwill leave his benteficiaries $500 if hedies. There are many other kinds ofco-operative Insurance its Great Britain, even extending down to Insurance against the loss of cattle andpigs, there being special societies for Ithe insurance of this kind of live 1stock.Tomorrow: Co-operative Marketing.XI.
